    Terraria State of the Game - June 2025

    The pet in the banner looks like a resprited Mini Minotaur pet (or it’s a Pal). I wonder if Re-Logic are also going to change the Tartar Sauce item so it’s no longer a Tobuscus reference. (Cleaned up image from Reddit)

    Terraria State of the Game - June 2025

    The way Blastoise Digtoise is controlled seems really unique for Terraria. The click and go here mechanic is really only used for minions, it would be cool to see it used with more non-pal 1.4.5 items. I also wonder if Digtoise is going to be a functional pet or if it’ll work more like the Kwad...

    Game Mechanics Respawn Timer = Regeneration

    Assumably in single player the game wouldn’t let you respawn, even if a set amount of time has passed, until the boss despawns. The health potion thing is balanced by potion sickness. Being at ~50% health with potion sickness is worse than being at ~90% health with potion sickness.

    Game Mechanics Respawn Timer = Regeneration

    You may find waiting for those things to be fine, but some players don’t. Pointing that out was one of things I was trying to do with my reply. Things aren’t as black and white as “any amount of forcing players to be patient is bad game design.” Maybe “mentally recover” was poor choice of...

    Game Mechanics Respawn Timer = Regeneration

    I agree that generally making players wait to play a game is bad design (and to certain degree ableist). Pointless progress bars or forcing players to stare at their screen for long periods to of time are basically always bad (outside or artistic video games like The Longing). The 1 to 2 minute...

    Game Mechanics Respawn Timer = Regeneration

    I honestly really like this idea. Things like the regeneration rate and minimum time you have to wait could be fine-tuned during play testing, but the idea of safely regaining health before respawning is an awesome concept! Along with giving players more control over how long they wait, this...

    Terraria State of the Game - May 2025

    Wow, I didn’t in know the Summoner UI mod that uses my minion counter concept was so popular! Last time I checked about a year ago it was at maybe 200 ratings. I’m glad a lot of people are finding it useful!:dryadhappy:

    Builds The Terraria Forums Tree (Do YOU want to add YOUR room? All are welcome!)

    It’s a secret message hidden on a sign. Here’s the sign text if you want to try solving it yourself.

    Blocks & Decoration Asphalt Coating

    If Asphalt Coating was actually added to the game it probably wouldn’t work on platforms because Red believes it would be too overpowered. But even with that caveat, being able to give any solid block the properties of Asphalt would still be amazing! I would have it be crafted with Black...

    Terraria State of the Game - April 2025

    Wow, this update is going to be THE Summoner update! We’re getting at least eight new whips, Mushroom Boi, the Barnacle sentry, the minion counter (thanks to me:dryadtongue:), and Summoner specific prefixes. The wait for 1.4.5 has been long but it’s going to be more than worth it! I kinda hope...

    What's the most modded thing in vanilla Terraria?

    The only thing that comes to mind is some of the stuff in Get Fixed Boi, especially Mechdusa. Most of the secret seeds are already on the edge of feeling modded but GFB specifically feels really :red:-posty and completely different from the normal Terraria experience. Everything else people have...

    If I had nickel every time a catchy song about a character named Steve got stuck in my head this month I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

    NPCs & Enemies Make Lunatic Cultist the difficulty of Duke Fishron

    That’s not true. OOA banners do give a buff, it’s just a weaker buff compared to most banners. From the wiki…

    NPCs & Enemies Make Lunatic Cultist the difficulty of Duke Fishron

    I agree, but like I’ve said in other threads the Lunatic Cultist only needs a buff in Expert Mode and higher difficulties. The Lunatic Cultist’s difficulty in normal mode is perfect for new players and I don’t think encouraging newbies to go fight Duke and EoL is necessary. But in Expert Mode...
